Lol I hope to join the Air Force after high school and my dad was in the Air Force and went through BMT in 2000

[@torrie934]

I really appreciate you talking about boot camp!! That’s literally my biggest fear bc it’s the unknown. Knowing all this information is great since I’ve been working out and stuff. Now I know what I need to condition for 😊

So nervous for push ups. I’m so bad at them. Still working on my enlistment process

[@AirmanNick]

You will be pushing them out like nothing after bmt!

[@Eddyrick18]

My recruiter says I probably won't head over til next summer. Right now i could do 45 push ups 50 sit ups and a 1.5 in 11:30, So with about 7 months of preparing this should be fun. Im excited! Im going to try and get warhawk

[@AirmanNick]

Awesome, you more than likely will!

[@winter2625]

So glad I found your videos. Thank you for this info!

[@AirmanNick]

You’re welcome, glad it could help you out!

[@ashleymoore2293]

I’m 34 too so I’ve been trying to run 2 days a week! I can do 1.5 in 15 minutes and I can do 2.5 miles in 17-18

[@Daddyvader7]

That’s fantastic I’m 24 and was only capable of doing 14 mins for a mile and a half. I’m in quarantine at bootcamp right now. I’m capable of doing 10:00 mins mile and a half and for people our age it is possible to push ourselves and reach no limits much faster then people in their 40s and 50s so taking advantage of that and pushing yourself each day will help you out a lot.

[@raidenmilette6431]

So you run a whole ass mile in 2 to 3 minutes after you run a mile an a half, doesn’t make any sense

[@jacobkunkel3506]

@@raidenmilette6431 yea that’s what I was thinking.

[@Daddyvader7]

I’m in quarantine right now at the hotel. Before I went in I tested myself. 70 push ups in a minute. 60 push ups in a minute. Mile and a half in 10:00 mins Working to get it down to 9:00 mins for a mile and a half. 80 push ups for a minute. 90 sit ups for a minute and body comp at a 33 or under.

[@ashleymoore2293]

Working on my sit ups and my push ups are at 20 so far ! How is the training in tech school.

[@AirmanNick]

PT wise it’s not hard at all lol, we do PT 2 times a week and it’s for like 30-45 mins super easy but early in the morning before class.

Can you make a video on how you studied for the ASVAB and thanks for this video it helped a lot.

[@AirmanNick]

Thanks for the video idea, I will add it to the list!

[@williammora2003]

Totally different than when I went in in 1993. This is much better! Best of luck to everyone. 😊🤙🐊

[@ANT-150]

I read on the internet that when you first get there, the initial PT isn’t bad at all, is it true that they want to see you do the mile and a half in 18 minutes when you first get there for a male then cut it down to 13:36?

[@mataj0to561]

I did a 14:52 mile and a half 2 days before leaving to marine corps training depot a week into processing I lost around 10 pounds due to stress and that paired with adrenaline I got it down to 13:21 5 weeks into actual training I got it down to 10:12 so yeah those few weeks can make miracles happen

[@maximusbad.4088]

Thank you!

[@torrie934]

BTW you just got a new subscriber😎

[@briyonnaj]

I ship out on the 21st , is there pescatarian meal options or no? I’m scared about the running part and waking up at 5 everyday!

[@AirmanNick]

They have vegetarian / vegan options at the dfac, it’s not the best but its something.

[@SFarlough]

So 5am every morning is the time to wake up

[@SFarlough]

What time are lights out?

[@skylasilva5586]

For push up form, do they care about how our hand or elbow placement is as long as you hit 90 degrees? I struggle doing them with my elbows out, versus keeping them tucked close to my body.

[@AirmanNick]

You will probably be fine as long as you go down far enough!

[@ajustmefr6925]

Thank you for the video I was a little worried because I can run 2miles for 14minutes but I kinda have to stop for like 5 minutes and walk. Do you fail if you stop during a pt run?

[@dominusfons4455]

MTI: why did you signed up to the airforce!? Me: Sir/Ma'am, this recruit heard it was supposed to be chair force!

[@jamesnieto4220]

I thought the mile and a half run was 11:57 not 13 minutes

[@AirmanNick]

13 is the max time you can get to pass.

[@AirmanNick]

I believe it’s like 13.36

[@jamesnieto4220]

@@AirmanNick thats good news. I usually reach mine in under 12

[@skiddlydoo222]

I am really worried about my run time and push ups. Would you mind letting me know how many times they had you do the 1min sprint before doing the 26min run? That way I can start putting together a running plan. I would really appreciate it. I'm starting to train this week. I leave in January.

[@AirmanNick]

I wouldent worry about sprinting at all, focus on distance for now and I would say don’t worry about the time just yet. Run like 2/3 miles a couple times a week before joining and you will be fine.

[@emilyjewels9840]

I leave October 6th, I'm worried about the push ups ):

[@AirmanNick]

Start doing push-ups everyday to make it easier on yourself, I had so many people in my flight go from nothing to passing by the end of bmt any practice you get in right now will be beneficial

[@PS2Damon]

so if you miss the 90 on the first PT in 6 months you retake it and get a 90 you dont gotta do it for a year?

[@AirmanNick]

Yes

[@CJGamers10]

What the difference with BMT now that theres covid? I'm leaving for BMT on Sep 15!

[@AirmanNick]

CJGamers10 social distancing, mask on at all times, no gas chamber probably and maybe a 2 week quarantine still

Dawson Fischer Legit everything else, Air Force is a lot of book work and learning we go to class for a couple hours, also learn a bunch in the dorms from Our MTI, then we will do weapon drills and learn to take apart guns and much more it all depends what’s on the schedule for the day which changes daily.

[@zanewilliams7357]

Does someone still hold your feet during sit ups or no?

[@AirmanNick]

For us it wasn’t allowed, not sure if it has changed yet but don’t expect it to of changed yet. They had us put our feet under a bar instead of letting someone hold them.

[@alexkaplan7750]

to get honor guard, do you need at least a 90 on the PT test and the EOC? I know there's other things involved, but are those 2 of the requirements?

[@AirmanNick]

Those aren’t necessarily needed but without it it’s pretty hard to obtain, you also will have to be an element leader or high up role at bmt to get some extra points.

[@MallUpNext]

Will your body transform after bmt do u build good muscle?

[@AirmanNick]

Jamal Jenkins honestly depends on the shape you are in right now, if u barley work out then yes most people gained atleast 10 pounds from eating 3 meals a day and working out all the time.

[@kyliebubbles9076]

Do you have to pass the initial bootcamp run or will they work with you?

kylie bubbles you need to pass the final PT assessment

Do they measure your waist on your final PT test at BMT. Acording to Air force ht/wt standards a person must have

[@AirmanNick]

Wow Nice, that’s where I went to the recruiting station at btw! And during Covid they won’t be measuring ur waist but usually if the Covid standard gets lifted they will be. Who’s your recruiter?

[@mollyparkinsons24]

They still arent measuring and they just give you the free 20 points, at least as of August 13th.

[@aidanisrael3720]

5+??? i do a 5k in 22min so that would be around 7:20 per mile. if you did 5+ your talking 5.20. mile
